Devils hot topic: Happy to have Doc Emrick back on the broadcast?

Jim McIsaac/Getty ImagesDoc Emrick is the lead play-by-play announcer for NBC Sports.

There may not be another announcer in sports who gets as excited over a big game like Doc Emrick does calling hockey. Whether it's his rising voice for scoring chances or anecdotal in-game history lessons, the broadcaster is one of a kind.

Devils fans know this all too well, as he served as the voice of the team for so many years before leaving after last season to work full time for NBC Sports. So while Devils fans might be happy that he's the play-by-play man for this series, it might make them even happier to know it irks Rangers fans.

Mike "Doc" Emrick, his annoying voice, the way he calls games, his anti-Ranger stance. I hate the guy, it has been torture watching these games on NBC Sports Channel because of him. Just retire already. Other than that no NJ Devil players annoy me.

We're sure other Blueshirt supporters have a dislike for Doc because of his past Devils allegiance -- that has to make you smile, right Devils fans?
